I forgot to mention that am and pm also works for time conversions (e.g., 8 pm pdt to edt), but since I can't edit my last post in the news forum, you get this one. It is very useful on a mobile device if you keep the Google input bar on your screen or use voice input.

If the Portal Page is live for the Dark theme, I can't tell as the formatting for Dark is .. weird?

I find the mobile version for Dark unreadable in terms of how it is formatted. I switched back to Silver for now.

Can we have other colors besides red/blue for Dark? they are ... uncomfortable.

No matter how many posts I read, my 'unread posts' count on the Portal Page (silver theme) remains at 1001 unread posts. (Edit: Resolved. Apparently I just had to mark enough forums as read that it dropped it back down to a 'normal' level)

Overall, I know many things were changed and improved. I'm sorry I'm still struggling with the new forums. Not entirely sure why other than 'none of the colors work for me' - I'm getting my first pair of glasses next week to help me with my headaches. Apparently my left eye decided it doesn't like computers anymore. Happily, that's fixable with glasses. Long live technology!

Hopefully that helps me with my current feelings of "ugh, I can't read these in any format right now" - I have a lot of forum work to do and I'm struggling to be motivated to do it as more than 10-20 minutes makes me wince.

It is causing the post body to appear under the left post profile stuff in every topic (like this one) in my normal Firefox and Chrome browsers now. The default /styles/prosilver/theme/content.css doesn't even have that, but Black normally does use it (going by the demo site version anyway). The only other element it applies to is is the "Keep The Lights On" section in the left column. That might need to be restricted with a

This might need to be reposted a few times when people wonder how to set DST times here. Something most people probably are unaware of is that the new phpBB automatically adjusts for DST. It needs one setting change by everyone to work though.

As david63 points out, user action is required after the upgrade to phpBB 3.1 to change their settings to make the new automatic DST feature work. We've made it part of the "announcements" we make when upgrading a forum to phpBB 3.1.

Part of the challenge is how phpBB presents the timezone information in User Control Panel->Board preferences (direct link is ucp.php?i=165) in the My timezone field. There are two elements to the setting. The first drop-down box shows a guess (based on JavaScript) of your timezone and then you need to select a country/city pair from the second dropdown that reflects your actual location.

The important user step is to set the country/city pair (2nd dropdown), which enables the automatic DST feature to work.

For me, it was set to UTC-7:00 for the timezone and also UTC-7:00 for location, which can't change it when DST ends. I switched the location to Vancouver (Washington, since they didn't have a BC one, but same thing) and it will now switch my time back to UTC-8:00 when DST ends later this year. Leave the actual timezone set to whatever your current UTC setting is (not what it is without DST).

It should be obvious if you set it incorrectly since there won't be any useful locations to chose from.
